Christians throughout history have believed that God reveals himself both through Scripture and nature. The metaphor of God’s Two Books is often used to represent these two divine revelations. The Book of God’s Words is the Bible. Scripture reveals inerrant spiritual truths. These include, the God of Christianity is the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the creation is very good, and only humans are created in the Image of God (Gen. 1:1, 27, 31). The Book of God’s Works is the physical world. Nature declares God’s glory, eternal power, and divine nature (Ps. 19:1; Rom. 1:20). Through the gift of science, our Creator has blessed us with the ability to explore and understand the structure, operation, and origin of his creation. Together God’s Two Books offer us a complementary divine revelation of who created the world and how he created it. A majority of Americans view science and religion as being in conflict, according to the Pew Research Center. Christians and non-Christians alike share this view, yet if this perceived conflict misrepresents the relationship between modern science and Christian faith, then it is both unhelpful and unnecessary today. In Evolution: Scripture and Nature Say Yes , theologian and scientist Denis O. Lamoureux reviews several options for embracing biblical Christianity and findings of science, including biological evolution. Holding to a high view of Scripture alongside an expert appreciation for scientific discovery, Lamoureux further outlines a way to understand passages referring to the natural world in the Bible and also demonstrates how modern science can point toward God. Lamoureux shares his own story along the way, recounting struggles many readers will relate to on his journey toward PhDs in both theology and biology and a fruitful relationship between the two. Topics in this book include: A biblical model of intelligent design in nature based on Psalm 19 and Romans 1. - Examination of the ancient science in Scripture, such as a flat earth and 3-tier universe. - Comparison of different Christian views on origins—young earth creation, progressive creation (old earth creation), and evolutionary creation. - Criticisms of the atheistic interpretation of evolution held by Richard Dawkins and his belief that intelligent design is merely an illusion. - Galileo’s peaceful relationship between Scripture and nature, including his view that “the intention of the Holy Spirit [in the Bible] is to teach us how one goes to heaven, and not how heaven goes.” - Darwin’s religious beliefs and evidence of the impact that intelligent design had on him throughout his life, along with his claim, “It seems to me absurd to doubt that a man may be an ardent Theist [personal God] and an evolutionist.” Believers wanting to honor God’s Two Books—Scripture and Nature—faithfully and without conflict will find an excellent introduction in Evolution: Scripture and Nature Say Yes . “Anyone who has ever wondered about the relationship between Christian faith and modern science should read this book. It makes a crystal clear and highly compelling case for calling a halt to the alleged warfare between Christianity and evolution. Denis Lamoureux’s unique personal story as a theologian-scientist, combined with careful scholarly argumentation and unashamed faith in Jesus, makes this book very hard to put down. It will be an oasis in the desert for many readers. Unlike so many other writings on science and religion, this book is generous toward other views and invites readers to draw their own conclusions.” -- Jeffrey P. Greenman, President, Regent College “Denis Lamoureux’s elegant biblical and biological scholarship is presented at a level accessible to anyone and illuminates a path where Christians can engage both the Word of God and biological science in harmonious dialogue. Lamoureux is intimately aware of the struggles faced when we look for peace between the evidence for evolution in the natural revelation of God and the Truth in the Holy Scriptures. Trained to the doctoral level in both theology and biology, he utilizes his own journey through these struggles to provide a pastoral and accommodating exposition of the intersection between the ancient science presented by the Holy Spirit-inspired biblical writers and the compelling evidence of a God-ordained and sustained process of evolution.” -- Nancy Halliday, PhD, Associate Professor of Cell Biology, University of Oklahoma College of Medicine “Denis O. Lamoureux is passionate about integrating science and a biblical- based faith in regards to the origins and evolution discussion. He writes in an understandable fashion for the layperson and scientist alike, clearly explaining the scientific and theological rationale for the evolutionary creationist perspective while maintaining a high regard for biblical inerrancy and scientific information. His love for Christ and God's created world is a common theme throughout the book, and his constant
